Black Event & Experiential Marketers

A resource to support & encourage diverse partnerships & vendor procurement

A resource to support & encourage diverse partnerships & vendor procurement

The Black Event & Experiential Marketers (BEEM) list is a vetted open resource to support diverse procurement and hiring practices by highlighting Black Owned businesses and professionals.

Too often we found that these businesses and professionals were not being seen or found –
or that was the excuse being given by the stark lack of diversity shown within many brand and agency spaces.

An Opportunity to Diversify
Your Supplier Chain

The BEEM List supports diversity within the experiential Industry and highlights Black Owned businesses, agencies and freelance professionals in the field.

Identifying the many creatives across all communities is a first step. Now, we must tackle the necessary conversations and collaborations that will ensure that there are tangible and stated platform goals for diversity and equity.

Let’s talk and extend more seats at the table

Intentionality

Make impactful change by turning commitments into opportunities
and revenue goals into success.

Collaborate

Work together to ensure that those on this list receive every opportunity to grow and network with the best minds in the business.

Transparency

Work with companies on defining and publishing (Internal+External) a plan to achieve 40% minority status by 2025.

Network

Utilizing our communities, amplify the message to grow and make this list a reliable resource
for the industry at large.

Challenge

We encourage our clients and partner agencies to intentionally weave in the pledge to increase diversity in vendors and supplier networks into budget allocations.
